Our research team sampled honey bee colonies placed in crops located across 5 provinces in Canada. A big shout-out to the massive efforts by Ida Conflitti as Project Manager and Mateus Pepinelli as Lab Manager! Amro Zayed Leonard Foster BeeCSI BeesYU


Amro Zayed Leonard Foster BeeCSI BeesYU We found that exposure to crops increases the complexity of stressor networks, meaning more stressors and potential stressor interactions Amro Zayed Leonard Foster BeeCSI BeesYU


Amro Zayed Leonard Foster BeeCSI BeesYU But networks of stressors varied substantially across crops and regions. For example, this cranberry network had way more stressors and potential interactions than lowbush blueberry Amro Zayed Leonard Foster BeeCSI BeesYU


Amro Zayed Leonard Foster BeeCSI BeesYU Pesticides, viruses, Varroa, European Foulbrood, and Nosema could be found in the same colony at the same time. Honey bees therefore need crop- and region-specific strategies using a multiple-stressor framework to manage risk Aidan Jamieson Amro Zayed Leonard Foster BeeCSI BeesYU



What a fantastic departmental seminar on coral biology, genomics and conservation by Dr. Crawford Drury from Hawaiāi Institute of Marine Biology ās Coral Resilience Lab lab. later⦠Ford exchanged his wetsuit for a beesuit! š

It was so amazing to see ash the scientist ⨠totally crush her MSc defence on genetics of the honeybeeās microbiome today! Well done Aishu!




Awesome #beecon2024 keynote by Chelsea Cook on how and why honeybees fan! (I am also major #fanboying Chelsea awesome research program)
